How did your lopsided math/science student do in admissions?

My daughter was lopsided and did very well in the college admissions (and scholarship) process. She was accepted at 9 out of 11 schools with CR 680, M 520, and W 780. She took the SAT three times and the ACT once (composite of 28–English 34 and Math 21), but she was never able to boost her Math scores. (Oddly enough, her twin brother is a Math & Science guy with top scores.)

She was admitted to a Limited Enrollment Program at the University of Maryland College Park, which was her top choice, and she’s starting classes there this fall.

She was also offered substantial merit scholarships to Ohio State, Florida State, University at Albany, and Washington College, among others.

I was seriously worried for a while about the outcome, but things worked out well in the end…I bet they will for your lopsided child as well!
